So if you think about it, it kinda makes sense for them to release the yuri novels as female-oriented. It's less risky.

Ahh yeah I guessed that that was the reason behind it
I'm hoping that the readership of their Comic Yurihime S will be mostly males, so that might push them to publish some yuri light novels for boys. I'm hoping they will be updating
their site with the male/female readership percentage.
And its good to know that japanese shops don't ignore the fact that its a male oriented magazine; Toranoana puts the magazine in the
men's floor anyway, keeping that up might bring more male readership, hopefully...
